An new exhibition shaped by the geology and landscape of Wales, will open in Carmarthenshire next month.

Sculpture student, Jonas Tew will be presenting a new body of ceramic and metal work this May, at the Carmarthen School of Art, Job’s Well Road.

The work is shaped by the geology and landscape of Wales, with sculptures that read as artefacts from lost cultures or civilisations yet to come.

Jonas, who is originally from Lithuania and moved to Wales after first visiting from London, has previously exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy, the International Ceramics Festival, and had work selected for the National Galleries of Scotland.

“It was at Carmarthen School of Art that I found a true sense of community, as well as the classical training in both fields that I had been craving after trying out arts education elsewhere,” explained Jonas.

“My artistic practice is rooted in the traditions of ceramics, with my sculptures consisting of wheel-thrown elements, and metal casting, which I subvert through highly experimental approaches to making.

“The work originates from an inquiry into the geological origins of clay itself and the tension between myth and science. I am currently exploring the ways biomorphic imagery can function as a form of personal storytelling.”

The exhibition opens on May 22 and runs until June 4.
